Prepare seeds for landing. They should be killed – take saucer and put on it piece of gauze. Moisten it with water, place on it seeds and cover all with other piece of gauze or cover for 12 hours.
Terms of landing count depending on that, as expected maturing of seedling. At tomatoes it is necessary to grow up seedling for change to the soil 45-65 days. For early grades of pepper the period of cultivation is 60 days, for late grades – 75 days.
Transplant seeds in boxes which height has to be about 12 cm, on depth no more than a centimeter. Water the earth with warm water and cover with film. There were no shoots yet, it is possible to keep boxes in any quiet place of housing. Approximately in week when from under the earth there are first sprouting green leaflets, the boxes should be rearranged on windowsill, is closer to light, and still in addition to highlight bulb. In particular a lot of light is required to pepper.
You watch air temperature – at first to plants there will be 14-15 degrees of heat enough, 7 days later it will be required to them in the afternoon of 18-20 degrees of heat, at night – 16 degrees. It is necessary to water seedling with lukewarm water.
When there are first two real leaflets, seedling it is time to dive. Both plastic cups, and peat pots will be suitable for seating. The main back at change can be prishchipnut that the root system was stronger.
For few weeks before jumping in soil seedling should be tempered. For this purpose provide gradual temperature reduction to 14-15 degrees, and in week before disembarkation place seedling on open air. For this purpose in kitchen garden it is recommended to equip forcing box on high legs or just to record in the earth of leg of old table and on table-top to establish box with seedling.
During growth of seedling it is necessary to watch closely that the soil was not too damp or too dry, to provide the good illumination and temperature condition, suitable for age of seedling. At unfair leaving you risk to receive plants with the extended stalks and weak roots.
